Taking Your DR Program To The Next Level
Cloud technologies and virtualization software make it easier than ever for companies to implement a comprehensive disaster recovery and business continuity program. Deploying these tools can keep networks functioning in the event of a disaster — avoiding downtime and preserving profitability and maintaining vital customer relationships.
Building a robust and reliable disaster recovery program takes thoughtful planning, detailed design, skilled implementation, and careful testing to ensure a successful outcome.
OnX’s Disaster Recovery Implementation Service is designed to remove all doubts about the effectiveness of your DR program. This professional service engagement covers every crucial component of an effective disaster recovery program, from planning to design and documentation. Here’s why it’s so effective:
- Virtualization and DR best practices: IT departments that rely on virtualization tools need strong DR plans to ensure rapid recovery of their virtual environments in a disaster. Our implementation services deliver comprehensive design, deployment, creation of runbooks, and validation of a DR solution for virtual machines running on VMware vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V.
- Replication and failover: Host-based replication products protect virtual machines asynchronously on a secondary site. Our custom design and implementation automates the failover of virtual machines in a disaster, and allows for critical DR testing without interrupting production applications.
